Meanwhile, as Tagiru, Gumdramon, Yuu and Damemon had proceeded to Shoutmon's castle, oblivious to the fate that had befallen the Digimon King and their friends, the four had reunited with the rest of the Fusion Fighters over a large banquet within the castle's dining room.

And while Tagiru and Gumdramon immediately stuffed their faces, Yuu and Damemon believed it was rude to start eating without the rest of their friends present.

But Ballistamon, knowing his best friend and his selfless personality, as well as knew his training Lunamon would take some time until they would return managed to convince Yuu and Damemon to dig in and enjoy the meals Shoutmon's chefs had made.

But eventually, Yuu and Damemon stopped eating, not because they were full, but because of how long it had been since they had seen their friends.

"Guys, it's been ages since Shoutmon headed off to train." Yuu said, before he asked, concerned. "Do you think he, Mikey and the girls are alright?"

"Yuu makes a good point, they have been gone too long." Damemon added, sounding just as concerned as his partner.

And they weren't the only ones.

"They're right." Lillymon said and causing her to ask. "Do you think we should look for them?"

However, the castle began to rumble a little, ceasing Lillymon's question from being answered, before Tagiru had his own. "What's going on!?"

"General!" Knightmon suddenly called as he; alongside Beelzemon both entered the room in panic. "We're under attack."

With Shoutmon and Lunamon still missing, Gumdramon took command.

"Bu who?" He asked.

"Shoutmon." Beelzemon replied, which shocked everyone at Beelzemon's answer.

"What!?" Tagiru and Yuu called out, unable to believe what Beelzemon had said.

"Are you one hundred percent sure it's Shoutmon and not an imposter like Betsumon?" Ballistamon had to ask, finding it hard to believe Shoutmon would attack his own castle and friends.

"Alas, this Shoutmon is no imposter." Knightmon replied, only to further increase the bad news. "And what makes matters worse is Lady Lunamon, Mikey and Angie have sided with him."

"No good, no good, very no good!" Damemon called in panic.

"No kidding." Dorulumon said, before he faced Gumdramon. "What do we do now?"

A serious expression appeared on Gumdramon's face as he rose from his seat and took command.

"We fight." He replied, causing Tagiru, Yuu and Damemon to nod in reply before the four headed off, alongside the other Digimon.

But as Tagiru, Gumdramon, Yuu and Damemon continued, preparing to take on their friends, Dorulumon stopped, allowing Ballistamon, Starmon, the Pitmons and Beelzemon to pass, while blocking the path for Knightmon and the others.

Confused by his actions, Cutemon asked. "Dorulumon, what are you doing?"

"If what Beelzemon said was true and Shoutmon is now our enemy, it's too dangerous for any of you to get involved. The best thing you can do now is stay here, it'll be safer." Dorulumon replied.

And while Cutemon wanted to assist his friends, he knew the harsh truth, that he and the other Digimon were nowhere near as strong as Shoutmon and would just get in the way, making him nod and watch as Dorulumon then ran off.

'Dorulumon, please be ok.'

-Outside Shoutmon's castle-

"Fiery Fastball!" The Digimon King called, summoning several fireballs in his hands, which he then unleashed at the castle, striking at the PawnChessmon above, who were conflicted in trying to defend themselves and the castle, as well as working through their conflicted feelings, wondering if they should fight back.

Ceasing his attacks, 'Shoutmon' stated in a cold, logical tone. "You hesitate. It just shows you all need a new Master to rule over this world."

"Shoutmon!" 'Shoutmon', Mikey, Angie and Lunamon heard a voice call, making the four look to see Gumdramon, Tagiru, Yuu, Damemon and the other Digimon of the Fusion Fighters burst from the front gate.

Concerned, Ballistamon asked. "Shoutmon, why are you doing this?"

"And what are those weird things on your faces?" Gumdramon questioned as he and the others stared at the strange, one eyed starfishes.

"I am not Shoutmon, I am Starro the Conqueror." Starro/Shoutmon replied, before the alien parasite explained. "Shoutmon now exists to act as my host body. And as for your friends, they are extensions of me and my will, which shall help me in conquering both the Digital World and the Real World."

"Dream on!" Tagiru said back as he withdrew his Fusion Loader, alongside Yuu, while Gumdramon and Damemon braced themselves to take on the corrupted Digimon King.

"Digivolve!" Tagiru and Yuu called out, determined to not only defeat Starro and stop his plans from enslaving both worlds, but to also save their friends from being treated like puppets.

"Gumdramon Digivolve to... Arresterdramon!"

"Damemon Digivolve to... Tuwarmon!"

After Digivolving, Arresterdramon and Tuwarmon stepped forward, ready to take on Starro, but though Shoutmon, he just stared at them, showing no reaction to their change in power.

"Though your ability to Digivolve is impressive, it is no match for me." Starro said, before he faced Mikey and Angie and commanded. "Show them the power I now control."

"Yes Master Starro." Mikey and Angie replied emotionlessly as they both withdrew their Fusion Loaders and released their power upon Starro/Shoutmon and Lunamon, shocking Tagiru, Yuu and their Digimon partners, as both brainwashed Digimon were consumed by energy.

And the shock just increased when they heard groans and cries, making the four look around and saw Ballistamon, Dorulumon, Starmon, the Pitmons and Beelzemon were being consumed by the same energy.

Worried and confused, Tagiru asked. "What are you doing to them?"

Though his form was enveloped, Tagiru heard Shoutmon's voice, to which, through his host, the alien parasite replied. "Since my host acts as the core in their fused state, I am using Shoutmon to absorb them."

"Soon, they too shall be one with Master Starro." Angie stated.

"Not if I stop him first!" Arresterdramon snapped back as he moved in and prepared to attack.

"Flog Shot!" The Superstar Digimon yelled, bringing his anchor-like tail down at Starro, however, before the attack could hit its intended target, a blade clashed with Arresterdramon tail, holding back his attack and protecting Starro.

"What!?" Arresterdramon and Tagiru questioned, stunned to see a new Digimon, a female Digimon that was dressed in white coloured armour and was using a massive scythe as her weapon of choice had entered their fight and was protecting their enemy.

But after getting a good look at the Digimon's face, they could see it too was under Starro's influence.

"Who are you?" Arresterdramon asked the mystery Digimon..

"I am just a servant of Master Starro." The Digimon replied.

But while their voice lacked any emotion, Tagiru, Arresterdramon, Yuu and Tuwarmon recognized the voice and knew who it was.

"L... Lunamon!?" Arresterdramon asked, causing him to break from their attacks and back off.

"That is correct. My host was known as Lunamon, but thanks to Master Starro, I have evolved Lunamon to her greatest form, Dianamon." She told Arresterdramon in reply.

"And I shall use her power to assist my Master in taking control over your worlds. Arrow of Artemis!" She then announced, firing an arrow of ice at Arresterdramon, who didn't have time to react from the sudden attack and was struck in the chest, causing him to cry out and fall to one knee.

"Arresterdramon!" Tagiru called out in concern, seeing his partner in pain.

"Don't worry, Tagiru, I'll be fine." Arresterdramon assured Tagiru as he rose to his feet, but had to admit. "But against a Digimon as powerful as her, I think I need my own assistance in power."

"Got ya." Tagiru said in reply as he got out his Fusion Loader once again.

"Reload Sagomon!" The brunette announced, causing Sagomon to appear beside Arresterdramon, before Tagiru then called out. "DigiFuse!"

"Arresterdramon!"

"Sagomon!"

"DigiFuse!"

With that, the Digimon combined as one, combining Sagomon's strength with Arresterdramon's, who gained a fraction of Sagomon's appearance, which featured his beak, arms, as well as Sagomon's staff, which caused the fused Digimon to announce in a strong tone. "Arresterdramon: Sago Mode!"

With the Digifusion complete, Arresterdramon prepared to take on Dianamon, but saw that things had gotten worse, for the forced DigiFuse had succeeded, causing the energy that had consumed Starro and the other Digimon to fade, revealing Starro had accessed Shoutmon's great power and DigiFused to Shoutmon X4B.

"You have no hope in defeating Master Starro or stopping him from bringing order to your worlds." Dianamon stated, before she shot at Arresterdramon and tried to slice him in half with her scythe, causing the Superstar Digimon to quickly bring up his staff and hold back the alien infused Digimon Queen's attack.

While Arresterdramon and Dianamon were locked in combat, their blades clashing with each swing, Tuwarmon slowly approached Starro and prepared to fight him.

"Listen, Starro, you may have Shoutmon and his power, but I have power too, more than enough to defeat you and save my friends." The ninja Digimon stated, causing Yuu to nod in agreement with his Digimon partner.

"Really?" Starro asked, only to then say. "We shall see."

"You won't after this. Smokin' Boogie!" Tuwarmon called out as he fired several smoke bombs around Starro, obscuring his vision and allowing Tuwarmon to silently strike.

With Starro trapped in his smoke screen, Tuwarmon saw his chance and attacked from the side as he withdrew his Mantis Arm blades, leapt into the air and struck down.

However, Starro, remaining in place, suddenly brought the Star Sword up, impaling it right through the shadowed figure of Tuwarmon, making the ninja Digimon gasp out from the intense pain.

"Did you seriously believe I would fall for such tricks?" Starro asked, bringing the Star Sword back to see skewered through it was a Tuwarmon-shaped dummy, making the alien mind controller suddenly turn back, where the dummy crashed into the side of the real Tuwarmon, knocking both down as the smoke died down and the dummy fell to pieces.

"Tuwarmon!" Yuu called out in concern.

"Your tricks cannot fool me. I have complete access to all of Shoutmon's memories and know every single move and strategy you have ever performed." Starro told Tuwarmon, who got back to his feet, glaring at the parasite that was controlling his friends.

"Digi Ninja Art: Spider Bind!" Tuwarmon then called out, unleashing electrified threads at Starro in an attempt to stop and restrain the corrupt Digimon King.

However, Tuwarmon was shocked to see that at his current level, X4B managed to not only protect himself, slicing through the webbing with the Star Sword, but saw he was preparing to strike back, for the cannon attached to the lower portion of his body was charging up with green coloured energy.

And what shocked Tuwarmon, as well as Yuu was that behind the ninja Digimon were Mikey and Angie, who just stood in place, showing no signs of moving, to which both Yuu and Tuwarmon knew both would get caught in the crossfire if they didn't do something.

"Chaos Flare Cannon!" Starro then called out, unleashing a tremendous amount of power from the Berenjena SDX, which not only consumed the area, but also devastated everything before Starro, leaving nothing but destruction and ruin.

However, even with the area destroyed, Starro knew Tuwarmon hadn't met is end.

"Come out of hiding." Starro said, watching as Tuwarmon appeared before the alien mind controller in a cloud of smoke, revealing had used his 'Digi Ninja Art: Body Dodging Technique' to not only avoid the attack, but held Mikey and Angie under his arms and had protected the pair from certain destruction.

However, even with the area destroyed, Starro knew Tuwarmon hadn't met is end.

"Come out of hiding." Starro said, watching as Tuwarmon appeared before the alien mind controller in a cloud of smoke, revealing had used his 'Digi Ninja Art: Body Dodging Technique' to not only avoid the attack, but also saved Mikey and Angie from certain destruction and now held both under his arms.

Curious, Starro asked. "Why did you protect those who are now your enemies?"

"Because I know that behind your mind control are the real Mikey and Angie." Tuwarmon replied, who held their unconscious forms, before Tuwarmon then asked back. "And why did you attack them, aren't they your allies?"

"I already explained what they are, and it makes no difference to me if I lose some of my spawn. All that matters is taking control of your realities." Starro replied, his answer sickening Tuwarmon and Yuu.

"You won't get away with this!" Yuu snapped, causing Starro to face the blond, glaring at him as he asked. "And who will stop me?"

"The Fusion Fighters!" A female voice, recognized by all then called out, before Starro was bombarded by blast after blast, causing Tuwarmon to quickly use his 'Digi Ninja Art: Body Dodging Technique' once again, appearing beside Yuu, as they, alongside Tagiru, Arresterdramon and the brainwashed Dianamon saw MetalGreymon and Sparrowmon land before the younger brother of the Amano family, to which their human partners jumped off their Digimon's backs, making the male partnered with MetalGreymon then smirk as he asked. "Is this a private fight or can anybody join?"

"Christopher! Nene!" Tagiru called, happy to see they now had backup.

But confused, Nene had to ask. "What's going on? Why is Shoutmon fighting you?"

"We'll explain everything later, sis." Yuu promised, before Damemon added as he set down Mikey and Angie's unconscious forms. "All you need to know right now is that eyesore on Shoutmon's face is the reason he's turned against us."

"So all we have to do is take down that mutant starfish?" Christopher asked in reply, determined to fight.

"Easier said than done." Yuu said, making the blond then tell Christopher, Nene and their Digimon partners. "Not only does it have control over Shoutmon, but it has greatly increased Shoutmon's power."

"And I shall increase it further." Starro then said, holding out his hand, which began to glow in a red aura, which suddenly encircled Sparrowmon's form and made her cry out.

"Sparrowmon!" Nene called in concern, only for her and the others to watch in shock as Sparrowmon was absorbed into Shoutmon X4B, where X4B's form changed, to which Sparrowmon's wings expanded from out X4B's back and Sparrowmon's Zanahoria blaster appeared on his left arm, transforming from X4B to Shoutmon X5B.

Upon seeing Starro had DigiFused himself with Sparrowmon, the remaining Fusion Fighters were all shocked and full of questions as to what they had witnessed.

"How... how is this possible?" Yuu questioned fearfully. "How can Shoutmon DigiFuse without Mikey or a Fusion Loader?"

"The power I have over this creature allows me to change his form without the dependence of a Fusion Loader or a human companion." Starro answered.

"Now to show you the power that is Starro! Three Victorize!" Starro then called out, unleashing a tremendous force of energy from the V shaped crest on X5B's chest, which Dianamon managed to avoid, while the others didn't have time to react and were all struck by the attack.

And as Dianamon landed beside Starro, both could see that while MetalGreymon had sustained many injuries, Arresterdramon and Sagomon had broke from their DigiFuse, the three Digimon barely able to stand, Tuwarmon had taken more damage and De-Digivolved to Damemon, while Tagiru, Yuu, Nene and Christopher had taken some damage, but were still standing, for the Digimon had used themselves as shields to protect them.

"Damemon!" Yuu called out, concerned as he picked his Digimon partner up and asked. "Are you alright?"

"He's just too powerful." Damemon replied.

"As much as I hate to admit it, he's right." Christopher groaned, seeing one attack had nearly wiped ZekeGreymon out, which made the blond then ask. "How can we compete Shoutmon's power?"

While frustrated too, an idea then came to Tagiru.

"We match it." Tagiru replied, withdrawing his Fusion Loader and calling back Sagomon, before he called out. "Reload Betsumon!"

With the command issued, the cosplay Digimon emerged from the Fusion Loader, a sly grin appeared on his face.

That was until he saw was up against the Digimon King.

"What's up with the starfish face? I've heard of seeing stars, but this is just crazy." Betsumon commented, using his 'Cold Gag' in an attempt to freeze X5B from his terrible joke.

However, Starro just stared at Betsumon and told him in an emotionless tone. "Your attempt at humor is just as weak as you."

Nervous, Betsumon faced Arresterdramon and Tagiru and asked them. "Hey Boss, Superstar, why are we fighting Shoutmon?"

"That starfish on Shoutmon's face is controlling him and we need more power to beat it." Tagiru explained, before he asked. "Think you can lend us a hand?"

"No problem. My power is your power." Betsumon replied with a grin, making Tagiru smile at the cosplay Digimon for a second, before he turned back to Starro and called out. "DigiFuse!"

"Arresterdramon!"

"Betsumon!"

"DigiFuse!" They called out, causing Betsumon's Data to enter Arresterdramon's body, boosting his power and changing his appearance.

"Arresterdramon: Cosplay Mode!" Arresterdramon announced in a proud tone.

But with his appearance change, it just left Yuu, Damemon, Christopher, ZekeGreymon and Nene stunned, for Arresterdramon, though maintaining his overall appearance was now dressed in a large Gatomon costume, while a cloth sack draped around his neck.

Upon seeing Arresterdramon's new form, Christopher was the first to speak.

Breaking from his stupor as he questioned. "That's your plan, a costume change?"

"There's more to it than that." Tagiru stated, before he faced Arresterdramon and said. "Show them what I mean."

"Gladly." Arresterdramon said in reply as he reached into the cloth sack, pulled out a set of gold coloured clothing, which concealed the 'X' scarred Digimon for a moment, before revealing he had changed costume and was now dressed as OmniShoutmon.

With Arresterdramon's costume change, Tagiru faced Christopher.

"C'mon, let's perform a Double Fusion and show Starro he shouldn't have messed with our friends." He said in a determined tone, making Christopher look at him, puzzled.

"Are you serious?" The blond asked.

"It's better than doing nothing." Tagiru said in reply, causing Christopher to smile and sigh in defeat, knowing Tagiru was right.

"You're right there." He replied as he withdrew his Fusion Loader, both hoping for a positive outcome.

"Double Fusion!" Tagiru and Christopher called out as they pressed the ends of their Fusion Loaders together and unleashed their power.

"OmniShoutmon!" Arresterdramon announced.

"ZekeGreymon!" ZekeGreymon called.

"Double Fusion!" The duo then called out, combining their power and becoming one entity.

"Shoutmon DX!" The newly fused Digimon then announced in a mighty tone, amazing Yuu, Damemon, Christopher and Nene that the fusion was a success.

"Amazing... they did it..." Nene managed to say, unable to take her eyes off the DX doppelganger.

But while the others were still in awe, Tagiru smiled, before he commanded. "Alright, DX, now that we have the power, let's show that eyesore we mean business!"

"Right!" DX replied, before he charged at the corrupted Digimon King, where his form was consumed by flame.

"Brave beat Rock Double Fusion!" DX roared.

"Meteor Impact!" Starro called back, concentrating all of his energy into his right fist and slammed it into the fireball that was DX, creating a massive explosion as the two attacks collided and unleashed all their power.

But in the end, though he was a copy of the original, DX's power was greater, overwhelming Starro, who was then consumed by all of DX's power.

With Starro consumed by the blast, Tagiru cheered. "Alright! We did it!"

However, Tagiru was proven wrong when the smoke from the blasts cleared, revealing Starro, who remained attached to Shoutmon face and hadn't so much as suffered a scratch.

"I have clearly underestimated you all." Starro commented, sounding a little impressed, only to then state. "However, none can stop Starro the Conqueror."

"How did he survive that?" Nene questioned, shocked, before she got her answer, shocking her and the other remaining Fusion Fighters to see Ballistamon, Dorulumon, Starmon, the Pitmons, Beelzemon and Sparrowmon, all of whom were spread on the ground, unconscious, for they had sustained massive amounts of damage.

And to add to the shock, each Digimon had a Starro clone infused to their face, causing Yuu to question. "And why do all the Digimon now have Starro clones on their faces?"

"It's simple. While they were fused with my host, I copied my being and placed it upon each of them, making them all one with me." Starro replied, before he commented. "Though it isn't as 'interesting' as other methods of reproduction I have discovered."

While confused by the second part, Tagiru understood the first part of Starro's reply and made the Superstar say, disgusted. "You used them to protect yourself? That's low."

"I did what I had to do in order so I could maintain my existence and bring order over both worlds." Starro said in reply, which disgusted Tagiru and the others further.

"Now to make sure you all cease me from fulfilling my goal." Starro then said, causing Dianamon's scythe to glow with a light, silver coloured aura.

"Goodnight Moon!" Dianamon called out, unleashing the light, which enveloped both the Fusion Fighters and the castle, causing everyone to feel drained of their energy.

"No..." DX groaned, De-Digivolving and splitting back to Gumdramon and MetalGreymon.

"We can't let the bad guy win..." Gumdramon could only say as his eyes dulled and he fell unconscious, alongside Tagiru and the others.

With the last line of defence against Starro now trapped under Lunamon's sleeping spell, Starro approached Mikey and Angie's forms; both Starro clones opened their eye and made their host bodies kneel before their Master.

"What are your orders?" The Starro controlling Angie asked.

"Divide and conquer." Starro said in reply, causing Mikey and Angie to nod in reply and obey the command of the alien mind controller.

-Upcoming Lemon-

"Yes Master Starro." Mikey and Angie replied in obedient tones, before Angie got back onto her bed and lay down, allowing Mikey to climb on top of her, where he then engaged her in a deep and passionate kiss.

As the pair continued, stripping each other of their clothing until both were naked, Mikey then lined up his member with Angie's snatch, causing it to rub against her pussy and causing Angie to break from Mikey' lips and moan in pleasure, before Mikey then thrust his cock inside of Angie, making her arch her back as pleasure filled her entire body.

"You are so deep... so big... Ah... Keep going... keep using Mikey' cock...!" Angie moaned out erotically, to which all Mikey could do was groan out in reply as he continued to thrust his manhood in and out of Angie's vagina.

Sweat dripped off their bodies as they continued, both letting out moans, groans and other noises of pleasure as they continued to mate, but eventually Angie was unable to contain her pleasure, which made Mikey not only groan out, but increased the speed of his thrusts until the brunette was unable to contain his pleasure and cried out loudly as he had her orgasm, filling Angie's vagina with his seed, while Angie cried out as she climaxed, cumming all over Mikey' member and knew that with their mating, Angie was certain to be impregnated with more of Starro's spawn.

-Meanwhile-

While Mikey and Angie had room to mate, Shoutmon had Dianamon turn back to Lunamon, so they too could indulge in reproducing.

After positioning herself on all fours, giving her Master a nice view of her buttocks and pussy, which was quite wet with her sexual fluids, Starro then unsheathed Shoutmon's manhood and, thanks to his mental domination over him, made it fully erect, before the alien mind controller grabbed Lunamon's hips and pushed Shoutmon's cock back into Lunamon's vagina, causing the Digimon Queen to moan in pleasure as she felt Shoutmon's manhood enter and exit her.

"Yes, Master, yes... Ah... It feels so good... Keep going and use Shoutmon to impregnate me...!" Lunamon moaned out as she and Starro continued to mate.

Lunamon's pleasure was then increased as Starro, feeling more lustful, placed his hands on Lunamon's breasts and began to fondle them as he continued to pound his cock into her pussy, causing her to moan out in pure pleasure, while he groaned out in pleasure as he felt the pleasure flow through his host body.

As Starro continued to use Shoutmon, thrusting his member inside of Lunamon for another hour, Lunamon's moans soon turned into loud screams of ecstasy, as the Digimon Queen could feel herself reaching her climax, making her moan out. "Oh, Master... Ah... I can't... I can't hold on much longer...I'm going to cum soon...!"

"Me too... I'm... Ah... I'm cumming too...!" Starro groaned in reply as he and Lunamon continued to mate for several more minutes, until Lunamon was unable to contain herself as she reached her climax and then released her cum all over Shoutmon's penis, which caused Starro to reach his peak and let out a loud groan of pleasure as he came, releasing his seed into Lunamon's womb.

With their orgasms over, Lunamon collapsed onto her stomach, while the alien parasite managed to keep himself from collapsing on top of the Digimon Queen, to which he then removed his cock from out of Lunamon's pussy and could sense it was only a matter of time before Lunamon, as well as Angie both gave birth to another batch of Starro clones.

And Starro knew the perfect candidates to become one with his hive mind.
